The Land Rover DC100 is intended to be a modern interpretation of the iconic Land Rover Defender. We'll see it in the metallic flesh at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show, but for now, here's the first couple of images. Also, there's some bad news. More »

Land Rover says a new, cleaner diesel engine for the Defender is EU5-compatible. This means that, while the long-awaited, all-new Defender has yet to emerge, the current model's won a short-term fight for survival — at least in Europe. More »

Imagine a Land Rover Defender that can roll up on a herd of antelopes without giving itself away, at least in the internal combustion sense. That's what we have here: an all-electric Landie concept created in South Africa. More »

The addition of 16-inch "Saw Tooth" alloy wheels and new paint is barely newsworthy, but the new Defender LE looks just that badass. Three of these and we can conquer Argentina again, mates. Then we'll never pay for Quilmes again. More »

Greens keepers at Royal North Devon Golf Club discovered a Land Rover Defender on its side in a bunker during their morning walk. Inside were two people dressed as pirates, asleep. Drunk driving is strongly suspected. More »

The guys from Top Gear hate caravans with a passion, so being ordered to build three of them for an upcoming show must have killed them. The three motorhomes they built? Anything but conventional. More »

We can almost hear this automnivorous little cheetah cub saying "Stop! Rawr!" It's simply adorable. Now kill it for scuffing that Defender's paint job. [grguy.net] More »

As part of an amazing trip from the UK to Alaska, a British farmer crossed the 56-mile-wide Bering Strait in his Land Rover. The 2007 Defender 110 was the latest vehicle in a development process that began back in 2004. Two giant flotation devices were fitted to each side of the SUV, which had been stripped down to the bare essentials to decrease weight. In a design similar to Richard Hammond's amphibious Van, a propeller was attached to the Land Rover's drivetrain to push the vehicle through the water. So how long did the voyage take? More »

In a truly majestic snub, the British Ministry of Defence has elected to replace its forward fleet of Land Rover Defenders with American-made "Ridgback" (or "Ridgeback" depending upon source) 4x4 armored trucks. The new vehicles are said to provide better protection for troops, better handling — better "manoeuverability" in the Queen's English, and, gasp, better reliability! We're not sure if the replacement plans are a tacit acknowledgement that there is no more British auto industry left to which the government should be loyal, or if British forces were simply getting tired of Lucas Electrics letting the smoke out deep down Kandahar way, where there's not only no proper service facility, but the tea is positively ghastly.

Last week saw a heated debate over the entry of the 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Jonckheere Coupe. Was it beautiful or a mockery, art or excess, folly or fantastic? According to the votes, 80.3% of you believed it a worthy entrant, so those questions have an answer. Now we switch gears entirely, from a tribute to form to a celebration of unquestionable function. In modern history, Land Rover has been nothing if not there to see things happen. It is said that a Land Rover is the only vehicle some people will ever see. Beginning in post-war Britain in 1946, an unbroken chain of workhorse machines has performed the duties set forth by their owners, never rusting, rarely failing. That progression has left us with a paragon of uncomplaining, uncomplicated virtue: the Land Rover Defender. More »
